Developing an Office of Sponsored Projects for Presbyterian College

描述(由申请人提供)：随着研究生水平的医学专业课程的增加，对教师的强烈研究要求，以及对研究生和本科教师都将寻求拨款支持的期望，私人投资机构建议为长老会学院建立一个赞助项目办公室(OSP)。PIS最初将专注于为药学院建立必要的行政支持，并随后扩大其支持本科生校园的努力。该项目完成后，目标是拥有一个集中的OSP，成功地为研究生和本科生教职员工和课程提供服务。这是该组织的一项新职能，有三个主要目标(1)开发和实施正式的行政结构(FAS)，用于奖励前和奖励后的拨款管理和报告，(2)创建研究发展计划(RDI)，以帮助教师寻找资助机会、制定提案、奖励后指导和支持，以及(3)评估计划，以确保拟议的结构和实施的过程满足不断扩大的教职员工和管理人员的动态需求，并制定可持续发展计划。与南卡罗来纳医科大学的PI导师合作，并在他们由校长任命的指导委员会--PIS的全机构支持下 将建立一个中央办公室，监督所有赠款活动；制定政策、程序和沟通方法，管理教师赠款发展，从资金来源确定到赠款管理；制定机构政策和程序，以管理设施管理和与联邦资金来源要求有关的安全政策；为现有工作人员提供教育，特别是在赠款管理、会计和报告领域；增加和培训新工作人员，以便更有效率和有效地管理和增加赠款数量；为技术转让和知识产权发展需求、IRB、IACUC以及生物危害政策和程序制定政策和规定；并利用评估方法，确保设计和实施的拟议流程和程序符合教职员工和管理人员的需求。将强调通过继续长老会学院药学学院(PCSP)的重点招收来自历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)的学生进入药剂学并鼓励他们参与教员指导的研究来增加种族多样性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the addition of a graduate-level medical professional program, a strong research requirement for faculty, and the expectation that both graduate and undergraduate faculty will seek grant support, the PIs propose to establish an Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) for Presbyterian College. The PIs will initially focus on building the administrative support necessary for the Pharmacy School and subsequently expand their efforts to support the undergraduate campus. Upon completion of the project, the goal is to have a centralized OSP that serves both the graduate and undergraduate faculty and programs successfully. This is a new function for the organization with three primary objectives (1) Develop and implement a formal administrative structure (FAS) for Pre- to Post-award grants management and reporting, (2) Create a research development initiative (RDI) to assist faculty in finding grant funding opportunities, developing proposals, post-award mentorship, and support, and (3) Evaluate the program to ensure the proposed structure and processes implemented meet the dynamic needs of an expanding faculty and administration and develop a sustainability plan. Working with the PIs' mentors at the Medical University of South Carolina and with the institution-wide support of their presidentially appointed steering committee, the PIs will establish a centralized office overseeing all grant activity; develop policies, procedures, an communication methods governing faculty grant development, from funding source identification to grants administration; develop institutional policies and procedures to govern facilities management and safety policies related to federal funding source requirements; provide education for existing staff, particularly in the area of grants management and accounting and reporting; add and train new staff in order to more efficiently and effectively manage and grow grant volume; develop policies and make provisions for technology transfer and intellectual property development needs, IRB, IACUC, and biohazard policies and procedures; and utilize evaluation methodology to ensure that the proposed processes and procedures designed and implemented meet the needs of the faculty and administration. Increasing ethnic diversity by continuing the Presbyterian College School of Pharmacy's (PCSP's) emphasis on recruiting students to pharmacy from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and encouraging them to participate in faculty-directed research will be emphasized.
